Simple (and “Lazy”) Halloween Decorating Tips For Your Redlands

Decorating for Halloween is tough; especially if you have young children. Buying decorations, setting up, and coming up with a design is stressful. So if you are looking to go simple with the decorating tips this year, here are some “lazy” ideas to try.

 

Glowing eyes: grab a bunch of old toilet paper rolls and cut eyes out into each one. Next place a glow stick inside and place the eyes near the darkest corners of your apartment. You can put them in closets, drawers or anywhere else. Your guest are sure to be scared.

 

Spider ice cubes: purchase a few fake spiders from your local 99 Cents store and place them in your ice cube trays. This decoration is simple and subtle but might shock your guest after your serve them a drink.

 

Blood stained towel: grab some fake blood from a Halloween store and make a few hand prints on your bathroom hand towels. This can be scary if you have little kids in the house, but if you have teenagers or pre-tweens this will work great.
